The Application of Indocyanine-Green(ICG) Fluorescence Imaging in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

The Application of Indocyanine-Green(ICG) Fluorescence Imaging in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of indocyanine green (ICG)-based fluorescence imaging in the detection of liver tumors. By correlating the ICG fluorescence patterns with pathologically confirmed tumors , it would be possible to use fluorescence navigation system in helping promoting oncology treatment.

Inclusion Criteria:

• 18 years≤ Age ≤70 years
• Compling with the diagnosis criteria of hepatic carcinoma.
• Primary hepatic carcinoma without intrahepatic or extrahepatic extensive cancer metastasis, the metastatic hepatic carcinoma whose primary focal has been controlled.
• Preoperative liver function is Child - Pugh grade A or B.
• The patients are volunteered for the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with mental illness.
• Patients can't tolerate the operation owe to a variety of basic diseases (such as severe cardiopulmonary insufficiency, renal insufficiency, cachexia and blood system diseases, etc.
• The patients refused to take part in the study.
• There are other co-existed malignant tumors.
• Benign liver diseases.
• Indocyanine green allergy
